Multiple measures show poverty is holding its grip across Alabama.

Maps produced by Al.com from three federal data sources show the prevalence of poverty in all the state’s counties – even those experiencing fast growth and rising incomes.

Some of the data shows that Mobile County and Jefferson County each have a poverty rate higher than the state’s three-year average, as does Montgomery County. Madison and Limestone counties, on the other hand, are at the other end of the poverty spectrum.
